We use a Medit digital scanner when creating impressions for Invisalign or Dental Crowns, to ensure the highest possible accuracy. How do Intraoral Scanners work? The scanner projects a light source onto the area of your teeth to be scanned. Images of the scanned teeth are captured by imaging sensors and are processed by scanning software, that produces a 3D surface model of your teeth. What are the benefits of using Intraoral Scanners?

But how exactly does it work, and is it safe? Let’s break it down. Dental anxiety is incredibly common, and many patients feel nervous about getting into the dental chair, whether it’s for a routine cleaning or a more involved procedure. At Modern Dentistry of Peoria, we want you to feel comfortable every step of the way. One of the most trusted methods for easing dental anxiety is laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide. But how exactly does it work, and is it safe? Let’s break it down. What Is Laughing Gas? Laughing gas is a colorless, odorless gas made of nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen. Dentists have used it safely for over a century to help patients relax during dental care. While its nickname suggests uncontrollable laughter, most people simply feel calm, light, and less anxious. How Does It Work? You breathe in laughing gas through a small mask placed over your nose. It works quickly: You'll feel the effects within just a few minutes. It slows down your body’s response to stress: Nitrous oxide affects the nervous system, helping reduce feelings of fear or tension. You stay awake and aware: Unlike general anesthesia, laughing gas doesn’t put you to sleep. You’ll still be able to respond to your dentist and remember the procedure, but you’ll feel much more relaxed. The effects wear off fast: Once the mask is removed, the gas leaves your system almost immediately. Most patients feel normal within minutes and can even drive themselves home. What Does Laughing Gas Feel Like? Patients often describe the sensation as: Feeling... --- - Published: 2023-10-30 - Modified: 2025-07-25 - URL: https://www.moderndentistryofpeoria.com/wisdom-teeth-101-answering-your-questions/ Having to get your wisdom teeth removed can be daunting.

Having wisdom teeth removed is a common procedure, but it's normal to feel nervous and have questions.

Are water flossers a better way to clean? Learn About Water Flossing With us at Modern Dentistry of Peoria Are Water Flossers Effective? Water flossers, also known as oral irrigators, are increasingly popular as a potential alternative to traditional string floss. But are they effective? Let's dive into the research: Water Flossers Vs. String Floss: Studies suggest water flossers are effective: A 2013 study found water flossers removed 29% more plaque than string floss, particularly between teeth. However, research isn't unanimous: A 2021 study concluded water flossers were equally effective as string floss, making them ideal for individuals with braces or fine motor skill limitations. Verdict: Water flossers seem to work and could potentially replace string floss in your routine, but they might not be definitively superior. Downsides to Consider: Potential for bacterial growth: A 2021 study found water flosser nozzles can harbor bacteria despite cleaning recommendations. Proper care (draining and drying) is crucial. Travel inconvenience: Water flossers are generally not travel-friendly, so you might still need string floss for trips. Additional cleaning time: Thorough cleaning of a water flosser (draining, drying) may be more time-consuming than traditional toothbrush care. Choosing the Best Water Flosser: Look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance: This indicates the product meets the American Dental Association's safety and efficacy standards.

Coffees & Teas Tea and coffee are both highly acidic, which can weaken the surface of your teeth, making them more susceptible to staining.

Sauces Dark-colored sauces such as soy sauce, tomato sauce, and curries also cause staining. Switching to lighter or creamy sauces can help mitigate some of the staining. Fruits & Berries There are many vibrant fruits that can stain your teeth. Think of the fruits that can stain your clothes - pomegranates, cherries, blueberries, and blackberries, just to name a few. In the same way that they can stain your clothes, they can stain your teeth. Sodas Sodas are highly acidic thanks to their carbonation.

If you are unhappy with the color of your smile, Modern Dentistry of Peoria in Peoria, AZ can help! Types of Stains: Tooth discoloration can be caused by surface stains, material changes in your teeth, or a mix of the two. Tooth discoloration can be divided into three types, according to dentists: Extrinsic Teeth Stains: These stains are a type of discoloration that affects the outer layer of your teeth. Extrinsic stains are not as permanent as the other types, these stains will not respond to simply brushing your teeth. If there are cracks on the teeth they can become deep-set and begin to be harder to remove. Intrinsic Teeth Stains: This type of stain will be found on the inner layer of your teeth or the dentin. Though dentin is beneath the tooth enamel, the darkened dentin can cause the whole tooth to appear discolored. Age-Related Teeth Stains: Age-related teeth stains are a combination of both extrinsic and intrinsic discoloration. The core tissue of your teeth, the dentin, will naturally yellow over time causing your teeth to become discolored. Another factor that may cause your teeth to show discoloration is that the enamel... --- - Published: 2022-03-07 - Modified: 2025-06-18 - URL: https://www.moderndentistryofpeoria.com/how-to-prevent-cavities-tooth-decay/ Cavity prevention starts with daily brushing and flossing. See what causes tooth decay and get additional tips on how you can stop cavities. Preventing Cavities in Peoria, AZ Cavities often referred to as tooth decay, are tiny holes that develop in the hard surface of your teeth. They are most common in children and teenagers, but they can affect everyone including infants and toddlers. Join Modern Dentistry of Peoria as we take a closer look at what causes cavities and how you can prevent them. Causes of Cavities Cavities typically occur as a result of poor oral health habits but other various factors can increase the risk of getting a cavity, including: Dry mouth. Dry mouth occurs when there is a lack of saliva in the mouth. Saliva helps wash away food stuck on the teeth and it counters the acid produced from bacteria in the mouth, which reduces the chance of cavities. Foods and drinks. Certain foods aren't as easily washed away from saliva, making them more likely to cause decay. Foods you should limit include: ice cream, honey, sugar, soda, cake, chips, cookies, and hard candy. Constant snacking or sipping. Drinking or eating frequently throughout the day results in increased bacteria in your mouth. These bacteria produce the acids that attack tooth enamel. Lack of fluoride. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps prevent cavities and can reverse the early stage of tooth decay. Use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash to help reduce your chance of cavities. Cavity Prevention Regular dental visits and daily brushing and flossing are the best protection against cavities. But, cavities left untreated get larger and larger, affecting... --- - Published: 2022-02-08 - Modified: 2025-06-18 - URL: https://www.moderndentistryofpeoria.com/are-dental-implants-safe/ Dental implants have become many dentists’ go-to procedure for replacing missing teeth.

Risks include: Sinus problems, when dental implants placed in the upper jaw protrude into one of your sinus cavities Injury or damage to surrounding structures, such as other teeth or blood vessels Nerve damage, can cause pain, numbness or tingling in your natural teeth, gums, lips, or chin Infection at the implant site The advantages of using dental implants.
